Bar hop through Historic Gastown. Whether you’re in the mood for a martini or some locally brewed beers, you’ll find it in Gastown. The neighbourhood is the oldest in the city and was established when Canada first became a nation in 1867. Maneuver your way towards the downtown core from the popular Pourhouse where I always order the refreshing “Silver Spur” with bourbon, St. Germain and citrus juices.
